What E8
actually means.
On a Wolf CE electric cooktop, E8 is a fan error. The fan keeps the controls cool under the glass, and the cooktop reports E8 when the fan does not run as the control expects.

What to do when E8 shows on the cooktopKind of codeCooling fan and downdraft
The fan that pulls air through the electronics under an induction top, or the blower behind a downdraft vent, turned slower than the control expected or would not stop. A drawer packed tight against the chassis, a greasy filter and a loose plug come first; a worn motor or its speed sensor comes after.
Usually leads toCooling fan and downdraft repair
The fan that cools an induction or touch-control cooktop's boards, and the downdraft vent that rises behind the cooking surface or pulls air down between the burners.
Shows up asCooktop Fan Runs Constantly
The cooling fan under an induction or touch-control cooktop keeps running long after cooking, or a downdraft blower will not shut off or retract.
